A woman who worked in the famous high street shop, HMV, more than a decade ago has taken to Twitter to reveal some of her most 'interesting' experiences she had whilst working there.

Laura, also known as @fairycakes told the Internet about some of her funniest, scariest and weirdest stories whilst working at the retail store.

Her list of tales include people trying to get free CDs, angry costumers and a woman who looked like the Queen.

Here is a look at some of her highlights:

"Adult DVDs"

Laura's first story is about an old man who would go into the shop looking for a little more than just visual entertainment. She said: "There was an old man who came in every week asking where the adult DVDs were.

"Every time you showed him, he’d grab his chest, yelp and pretend to faint, all in a desperate attempt to get one of the female members of staff to give him mouth to mouth."

Laura is definitely not alone with this encounter, many others have shared their versions. One user said: "Christmas Eve was always 'fun'!

"I worked at Gamestation and somebody knocked on the door after we’d closed asking if he could buy some presents.

"I explained we couldn’t as we’d already cashed up the till and he screamed “you’ve ruined my kids Christmas.” "

"Paul Weller"

Then a shopper came in to try to walk out with a selection of free CDs armed with a pair of sunglasses.

"One day a bloke came in wearing a pair of sunglasses claiming he was Paul Weller. He asked if he could have a selection of CDs by The Jam for free as he’d misplaced his copies," added the ex-employee.

You have to give this man credit for trying, but did he really believe that people would fall for it?

Several Twitter users asked weather it actually was Paul Weller as it sounds like something he would do. But, Laura wasn't convinced.

"Just in case"

"Another guy came in every week to buy all the new singles in the UK top 40," explained Laura.

"He was about 85-years-old and had been a travelling DJ since the 60s.

"He hadn’t had any work in years but wanted to purchase all the latest chart hits “just in case” "

Lots of people on Twitter hoped he is still working as a DJ now, with one user stating: "I kinda just wanna track him down and pay him to play music in my lounge."

"Candy man"

This one has to be one of the funniest on the list.

We can just picture the mans face when he saw the mistake.

"A man threatened legal action when he discovered that instead of a staff member ordering him in Candyman the horror film, they ordered in the CD single of Candy Man by Christina Aguilera," continued Laura.

Many people believe he got got lucky with the mix up and would pick the pop song over the film any day, however, others understood his frustration.

"The Queen"

This two-parter just gets better and we can't imagine how Laura felt.

She wrote: "One regular customer who looked exactly like the Queen bought The Priests album 4 times.
